College Student Told To Move Due To Legal Gun Ownership

Harvard University graduate student Leyla Pirnie was told to
move out of her apartment because she legally owns a couple of firearms, The Washington Free Beacon reported
recently.An email obtained by the site
reveals that her landlord admitted that a police officer inspected the
student’s apartment while she was away
and found that Pirnie was in complete compliance with state laws pertaining to
possession of the firearms.

The
email also stated that her roommates were uncomfortable living in proximity to
the guns, leading Dave Lewis, their landlord, to suggest
Ms. Pirnie move out. Lewis noted: “Since it’s clear that Leyla wants to
keep her firearms, it would be best for all parties if she finds another place
to live,” adding if she doesn’t and her roommates move out, she’ll be stuck
paying dramatically more rent.

Pirnie’s
roommates searched her room, eventually found the guns, and then emailed Lewis
requesting he find out whether Pirnie was breaking any laws. Enter the police
officer…literally. The roommates claimed that the presence of firearms in the
house “deprives us of the quiet enjoyment of the premise to which we are
entitled.”

Was Pirnie
blasting away in her bedroom?

Pirnie told
the Free Beacon that her privacy had been violated, stating: “After being told
far too many lies to count, my roommates finally admitted that they searched my
closet, under my bed, and all of my drawers in pursuit of finding my guns.” And
they wonder why she wants them?

Pirnie said
she had been in an abusive relationship, averring that she has “A real and
legitimate reason as to why I want to protect myself.” We all have real and legitimate reasons to protect ourselves. And all
Americans have the right to do so, via the Second Amendment.

Pirnie feels
she’s being punished for being a gun owner. When she asked her roommates why
they searched her room, one of them explained that she had been seen wearing a
Make America Great Again hat and is
from Alabama, so they just assumed she “had something.” Those tolerant,
non-stereotyping progressives just love to “Coexist,” don’t they?!

What if Ms.
Pirnie had ransacked every nook and cranny of her roommate’s spaces because
she’d seen them wearing “I’m With Her” buttons and knew they were from
California, so she just assumed they “had something?” And she found their
vibrators, strap-ons and dental dams and was uncomfortable living in proximity
to these items because they would obviously deprive her of “the quiet enjoyment
of the premise to which she is entitled?”

I would like
to say I’m sick of leftist’s immorality, and I am. But, none of us are perfect
in that regard. None of us truly know God’s mind, nor are we without sin. What
I will adamantly state is: I am so sick of “progressive’s” arrogance,
virtue-signaling, entitlement, hypocrisy,
bullying, ignorance, shamelessness, soullessness and outright hatred for the
wisdom of the ages that it makes me sick.

I know damn
well many of you reading this in Europe, in big American coastal cities-- and
elsewhere-- won’t understand my position, will disagree or think I’m a
reactionary troglodyte. That’s your
right. But the First Amendment to the
American Constitution guarantees freedom of speech (and therefore thought-
think about it), and the Second Amendment guarantees that the First one—and all
the others—cannot be easily and arbitrarily taken away from individual
citizens. The norm throughout all of recorded history is for governments to
grow stronger, more controlling and more sinister over time as they restrict
their own citizens rights, usually “for their own good.”

The Founders
found a workaround for this, although they knew it was likely a temporary one,
depending entirely upon the virtue of American citizens. Their definition of
virtue was doing what was best for the Republic as a whole and individual’s
freedom from repressive government, not acting and voting to encourage government
to use its coercive powers in your
specific identity group’s best interest to the detriment of all others.

Ms. Pirnie’s
roommates, like so many others today, simultaneously wallow in their ignorance
and superiority, oblivious to the long-term results of their own actions.

An Ode To Life

Appreciate all you have, as it- and you- will soon be gone. Leave no heartfelt words unspoken, no sweet gesture incomplete, no act of love undone. Love your spouse with passion and abandon, your kids with patience and understanding but also a firm guidance. Love also the truth, no matter how hard. If pursued by enough people with enough courage, it really will set us free.

And don't forget, we didn't ask to be born. We didn't create ourselves. We are not gods. There is a higher power.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."- Winston Churchill
